Why a version that does not actually match the sources version? That feels wrong

Tina Müller (tinita) - 3 months ago

The new version number format is semantically correct, please see https://github.com/openSUSE/cpanspec/issues/47 for a longer explanation.

In perl 0.89 is actually the same as 0.890. Until now we put the version into the spec as it is, which regularly lead to issues when for example a perl module released 0.29 and 0.3 after that. That would be equal to 0.290 and 0.300, but since we put 0.29 and 0.3 into the spec, the new version would be lower according to rpm.

This was often manually handled by setting it to 0.30, but that's work I would like to avoid in the future.

This new provides breaks the installation of another package:

can't install pcp-pmda-nutcracker-5.3.7-4.5.x86_64:

I will have a look if I can fix that, but the easy way would be to simply require YAML::XS. YAML::XS::LibYAML is a module that you normally don't directly use, and I'm surprised that this is used as a requirement.

The documented way is
